Lions marquee up for Rising Star award

At just 19, Harris is already a star of the competition after being signed as a marquee player by the Lions and has proved her worth in the opening two weeks, helping the club to an undefeated start to the inaugural season.

The Brisbane-born forward was at her match-winning best against Fremantle on Sunday, collecting 12 disposals and kicking two goals while taking six contested marks.

Meanwhile, Mithen, 18, celebrated her nomination with another great milestone, being excepted into university.

The Demons midfielder - taken with pick No.73 in the draft - is set to study business marketing at RMIT this year.
